Aerosol-generating material is a material that is capable of generating aerosol, for example when heated, irradiated or energized in any other way. Aerosol-generating material may, for example, be in the form of a solid, liquid or semi-solid (such as a gel) which may or may not contain an active substance and/or flavourants.

The aerosol-generating material may comprise a binder and an aerosol former. Optionally, an active and/ or filler may also be present. Optionally, a solvent, such as water, is also present and one or more other components of the aerosol-generating material may or may not be soluble in the solvent. In some embodiments, the aerosolgenerating material is substantially free from botanical material. In particular, in some embodiments, the aerosol-generating material is substantially tobacco free.

The aerosol-generating material may comprise or be an “amorphous solid”. The amorphous solid may be a “monolithic solid”. In some embodiments, the amorphous solid may be a dried gel. The amorphous solid is a solid material that may retain some fluid, such as liquid, within it. In some embodiments, the aerosol-generating material may, for example, comprise from about 50wt%, 6owt% or 70wt% of amorphous solid, to about 90wt%, 95wt% or ioowt% of amorphous solid. The aerosol-generating material may comprise or be an aerosol-generating film. The aerosol-generating film may be formed by combining a binder, such as a gelling agent, with a solvent, such as water, an aerosol-former and one or more other components, such as active substances, to form a slurry and then heating the slurry to volatilise at least some of the solvent to form the aerosol-generating film. The slurry may be heated to remove at least about 6o wt%, 70 wt%, 80 wt%, 85 wt% or 90 wt% of the solvent.

The aerosol-generating film may be a continuous film or a discontinuous film, such an arrangement of discrete portions of film on a support. The aerosol-generating film may be substantially tobacco free.

In some embodiments, the aerosol-former material may comprise one or more of glycerol, propylene glycol, diethylene glycol, triethylene glycol, tetraethylene glycol, 1,3-butylene glycol, erythritol, meso-Eiythritol, ethyl vanillate, ethyl laurate, a diethyl suberate, triethyl citrate, triacetin, a diacetin mixture, benzyl benzoate, benzyl phenyl acetate, tributyrin, lauiyl acetate, lauric acid, myristic acid, and propylene carbonate.

The one or more other functional materials may comprise one or more of apH regulators, colouring agents, preservatives, binders, fillers, stabilizers, and/or antioxidants.

The material may be present on or in a support, to form a substrate. The support may, for example, be or comprise paper, card, paperboard, cardboard, reconstituted material, a plastics material, a ceramic material, a composite material, glass, a metal, or a metal alloy. In some embodiments, the support comprises a susceptor. In some embodiments, the susceptor is embedded within the material. In some alternative embodiments, the susceptor is on one or either side of the material. A consumable is an article comprising or consisting of aerosol-generating material, part or all of which is intended to be consumed during use by a user. A consumable may comprise one or more other components, such as an aerosol-generatingae material storage area, an aerosol-generating material transfer component, an aerosol generation area, a housing, a wrapper, a mouthpiece, a filter and/or an aerosol-modifying agent. A consumable may also comprise an aerosol generator, such as a heater, that emits heat to cause the aerosol-generating material to generate aerosol in use. The heater may, for example, comprise combustible material, a material heatable by electrical conduction, or a susceptor.

A susceptor is a material that is heatable by penetration with a varying magnetic field, such as an alternating magnetic field. The susceptor may be an electrically-conductive material, so that penetration thereof with a varying magnetic field causes induction heating of the heating material. The heating material may be magnetic material, so that penetration thereof with a vaiying magnetic field causes magnetic hysteresis heating of the heating material. The susceptor may be both electrically-conductive and magnetic, so that the susceptor is heatable by both heating mechanisms. The device that is configured to generate the varying magnetic field is referred to as a magnetic field generator, herein.

An aerosol-modifying agent is a substance, typically located downstream of the aerosol generation area, that is configured to modify the aerosol generated, for example by changing the taste, flavour, acidity or another characteristic of the aerosol. The aerosol- modifying agent may be provided in an aerosol-modifying agent release component, that is operable to selectively release the aerosol-modifying agent

The aerosol-modifying agent may, for example, be an additive or a sorbent. The aerosol-modifying agent may, for example, comprise one or more of a flavourant, a colourant, water, and a carbon adsorbent. The aerosol-modifying agent may, for example, be a solid, a liquid, or a gel. The aerosol-modifying agent may be in powder, thread or granule form. The aerosol-modifying agent may be free from filtration material. An aerosol generator is an apparatus configured to cause aerosol to be generated from the aerosol-generating material. In some embodiments, the aerosol generator is a heater configured to subject the aerosol-generating material to heat energy, so as to release one or more volatiles from the aerosol-generating material to form an aerosol. In some embodiments, the aerosol generator is configured to cause an aerosol to be generated from the aerosol-generating material without heating. For example, the aerosol generator may be configured to subject the aerosol-generating material to one or more of vibration, increased pressure, or electrostatic energy.

Figure 1 shows a perspective view of a package 1 for an aerosol delivery system. The package 1 is free from a standard outer rigid pack.

The package 1 further comprises a container 6. The container 6 is generally the same as an inner container of a standard pack, which is normally located in an outer container. The container 6 comprises a wrapper 7 that is configured to surround at least one aerosol delivery system 8, shown in Figure 5. An outer surface of the wrapper forms an outer surface of the package 1. The wrapper 7 may be formed from a flexible material.

The term flexible material is used to describe a material that is more flexible or less rigid than the material that a standard rigid outer container for aerosol delivery systems is formed from. The wrapper 7 forms a wrapped bundle of aerosol deliveiy systems 8. The wrapper 7 comprises may comprise a barrier material 9. The wrapper 7 is sealed by the closure of its openings. The openings may refer to an extraction region or aperture in the wrapper 7, as will be described in more detail hereinafter, or openings formed in the process of wrapping the wrapper 7 around the deliveiy systems and the subsequent flaps formed by folding the wrapper 7 to close the openings. The wrapper 7 comprises a first layer 11. The first layer 11 comprises a paper based material. The first layer 11 may be a paper layer 11a. In some embodiments, the paper layer may be a coated paper or a barrier paper. That is, the first layer 11 may be a paper based material that comprises a barrier material 9. The barrier material 9 may be applied as a coating to the paper layer or may be provided interspersed within the paper layer as a single layer. The barrier material 9 may be plastic or metal and may be applied as a coating 11b to the paper layer 11a or within the paper material as a single layer 11.

In some embodiments, the wrapper 7 may further comprise a second layer 12, as shown in Figure 2. In some embodiments, the wrapper 7 may further comprise a third layer 13, as shown in Figure 2. In the present embodiment, the second layer 12 is a metallised layer 12. The metallised layer 12 is provided on the first layer 11, which is a paper based material 11. That is, a metal layer may be deposited, or otherwise applied, to the paper based material 11. In the present embodiment, the metallised layer 12 provides an initial barrier for the paper based material 11 to prevent, or at least reduce, the passage of moisture and/or aroma through the wrapper 7. That is, the metallised layer 12 is substantially impermeable. The metallised layer may have a weight of about 0.1 grams per meter. In some embodiments, the metallised layer may be aluminium.

Thu, in the present embodiment, the first and second layers combined effectively form a type of barrier coated paper. It will be understood that during manufacturing of the wrapper 7, a paper layer 11 may be provided and a second layer 12 applied to the paper layer 11 to form a coated paper or barrier paper. Alternatively, manufacturing of the wrapper 7 may begin with a coated paper or barrier paper, which removes the step of providing a paper layer 11 with a barrier material or coating.

In some embodiments, such as the one shown in Fig. 2, the third layer is a barrier coating 13, and is provided on the second layer 12; in this example, the metallised layer 12. The second layer 12 provides a smooth surface to enable the barrier coating 13 to be applied. A metallised layer 12 as the second layer provides a barrier to prevent the barrier coating 13 permeating into the first layer 11, which in this embodiment is a paper layer. Therefore, the barrier coating can be applied as a film without gaps, which increases the non-permeability of the wrapper 7.

Preferably, the barrier coating of the third layer 13 forms the inner surface of the wrapper 7. Therefore, the barrier coating 13 is facing internally and cannot be damaged by contact with a consumer or the environment. As previously mentioned, the wrapper 7 is sealed by the closure of its openings, such as by the adhered sealing of its openings. In the present embodiment, the wrapper 7 is sealed at its overlapping edges 10a. The wrapper 7 may be sealed by adhering together the overlapping edges 10 a of the wrapper 7 when it is folded to form the container 6. The adhesive 10 may be provided such that there is a continuous section of adhesive extending along each of the overlapping edges 10a of the wrapper 7 when the wrapper 7 is folded to form the container 6. The adhesive 10 may be provided on the wrapper 7 such that the adhesive 10 is not visible when the wrapper is folded to form the inner container 6.

The seals help to keep the contents fresh. This can also ensure that the wrapper 7 is sealed such that the free flow of water vapour and/ or air into the container 6 is not permitted (aside from through the extraction region, once opened to access the at least one aerosol delivery system 8. This is in contrast with an arrangement in which a wrapper is formed to surround at least one aerosol deliveiy system, for example through the application of folds and limited adhesive, but which is not sealed by the closure of its openings, and as such presents openings or gaps through which the free flow of water vapour and/or air is permitted. In such an arrangement, the application of limited adhesive, such as spot adhesive, can be used to keep the folds in place, but does not necessarily preclude the free flow of water vapour and/or air through any openings or gaps presented by the geometry of the folds.

It is noted that the wrapper 7 may be sealed such that the free flow of water vapour and/or air into the container 6 is not permitted, while not necessarily being hermetically sealed. For instance, it may still be possible for water vapour and/or air or other gasses to diffuse through the material of the wrapper 7 and into the container 6; however, as the motion of the water vapour and/ or air or other gasses is impeded by the material of the wrapper 7, this is not considered to be a free flow of water vapour and/or air or other gasses. That is, the adhesive seals along the overlapping edges 10a of the wrapper 7 are air tight such that the water vapour and/or air or other gasses cannot pass between overlapping portions of the wrapper 7, although water vapour and/ or air or other gasses may still pass through the wrapper 7 to some degree.

In some embodiments, the wrapper 7 is sealed such that the inner container 6 is hermetically sealed. The hermetically sealed container 6 keeps the contents fresh for longer. The inner container 6 may be hermetically sealed by providing an adhesive 10, 20 on at least one of the outer surfaces of the wrapper 7. In the present embodiment, an adhesive 10 is provided on the outer surface of the wrapper 7, and an adhesive 10 is provided on the inner surface of the wrapper 7, as will be described in more detail hereinafter. The adhesive 10 may be, for example, but not limited to, a glue, a lacquer, or a heat-seal adhesive. In some embodiments, the adhesive is configured to have a sealing temperature of in the range of over about 50 °C, for example about 60 °C to about 65 °C. This enables the activation temperature of the adhesive to be achieved in the short period of time, e.g. roughly 0.2 seconds, in which the wrapper 7 and adhesive 10 are between the sealing plates of the manufacturing apparatus (not shown). In addition, this sealing temperature is sufficiently above the operating temperature of the apparatus to prevent significant unwanted premature activation of the adhesive.

In some embodiments, the overlapping edges of the wrapper 7 may be sealed using an adhesive but the seal may not be hermetic.. In some conditions, for example tropical conditions such as at 30 °C and 90% relative humidity (1249 ASTM), the wrapper 7 may have a water vapour permeability of less than 8g/m2/24hr. In some conditions, the wrapper 7 may have a water vapour permeability of less than 6g/m2/24hr at 30 °C and 90% relative humidity (1249 ASTM). For example, a blank 45 for forming a wrapper 7 is shown in Figure 3 and 4. The wrapper 7 may comprise an adhesive extending around the whole perimeter or edge 47 of the inner surface 46, as shown in Figure 3, and, as shown in Figure 4, the wrapper 7 may comprise an adhesive extending around at least one part of the perimeter or edge 49 of the outer surface 48 of the wrapper 7. In the embodiment shown, the blank 46 comprises an adhesive 10 on its front base flap forming edge 49a and on its rear side flap forming edges 49b, 49c.

Furthermore, when the blank 45 is folded and sealed to form the wrapper 7 outer flaps of the overlapping edges of the wrapper have a rectangular shape. Preferably, the outer flap of the overlapping edge extends across a whole face of the wrapper 7. Therefore, each of the side surfaces and optionally the bottom surface of the wrapper are formed by a single flap of the barrier material 9, respectively. As a result, each of the outer flaps provides a whole surface on which indicia and branding, etc. can be printed. Referring now to Figures 5, 6, 7. and 8, there is shown various different embodiments of the wrapper 7. For example, Figure 5 shows an exemplary wrapper 7 comprising a first layer 11. The first layer 11 comprises a paper based material in the form of a barrier paper. That is, the first layer 11 comprises a paper layer 11a and a barrier material 9 in the form of a metal coating. In the present embodiment, the barrier material 9 is located on an inner surface of the paper layer 11a. An alternative example illustrated in Figure 6 shows a wrapper comprising a first layer

11 formed from a paper based material in the form of a barrier paper 11b, in which the barrier material 9 is within the paper layer 11a such that they form a single layer of material. The barrier material 9 may be, for example, but not limited to, metal or plastic.

Referring now to Figure 7, a wrapper 7 comprising a first layer 11, formed by a paper layer 11a, and a second layer 12 is shown. In the present embodiment, the second layer

12 is located on an inner surface of the paper layer 11a.

Referring now to Figure 8, a wrapper 7 comprising a first layer 11, formed by a paper layer 11a, and a third layer 13 on the paper layer 11a is shown. In the present embodiment, the third layer 13 is located on an inner surface of the paper layer 11a. There is no requirement for a second layer 12.

It will be understood, as explained above in relation to the second layer that in some embodiments the first and third layers 11, 13 combined may effectively form a type of barrier coated paper. It will be understood that during manufacturing of the wrapper 7, a paper layer 11 may be provided and a third layer 13 applied to the paper layer 11 to form a plastic or varnish coated paper or barrier paper. Alternatively, manufacturing of the wrapper 7 may begin with a plastic or varnish coated paper or barrier paper, which removes the step of providing a paper layer 11 with a plastic barrier material or coating.

Furthermore, it will be understood that in some embodiments, the second and/or third layer 12, 13 may be located on the outer surface of the first layer 11. Furthermore, it will be understood that in some embodiments, the second layer 12 may be on one side of the first layer 11 and the third layer may be on the other side of the first layer 11.

Referring back to Figure 1, the wrapper 7 comprises an extraction region 15 formed from a removable region 7a of the wrapper 7. The bounds or edges 16 of the extraction region 15 formed from the removable region 7a of the wrapper 7 for allowing access to the aerosol delivery systems 8 is indicated by dotted lines. In the embodiment illustrated ,the edges 16 of the extraction region 15 extend from the rearside of the wrapper 7 across the top of the container 6 and down the front as far as a lower front wall extraction region edge 16a. The container 6 further comprises a resealable label 18. The resealable label 18 is configured to cover the extraction region 15. The resealable label 18 comprises a peripheral portion 19 that extends beyond the extraction region 15, such that the container 6 is sealed when the label 18 covers the extraction region 15. The resealable label 18 is peelable away from the wrapper 7 in use to open the extraction region 15 to provide access to the at least on aerosol delivery system 8 in the container 6.

The resealable label 18 lies over the extraction region 15 to seal the container 6 closed.

The seal formed between the peripheral portion 19 of the label 18 and the portion of the wrapper 7 surrounding the extraction region 15 may be impermeable. The label 18 may also be formed from a sheet of the same material as the wrapper 7. The sheet of material that forms the label 18 has a re-stick adhesive on its undersurface nearer to the wrapper 7. Alternatively, a permanent bonding adhesive may be on the portion of the undersurface of the label 18 which does not overlie the edges of the sheet of material of the label 18, i.e. on the portion that overlies the removable region 7a of the wrapper 7.

However, where the label 18 extends beyond the edges 16 of the extraction region 15, the undersurface is provided with re-stick adhesive.

In one embodiment, beyond one lower front wall edge 21 of the label 18 is a tab 22 which is at least partly free of re-stick adhesive so that it may be flicked up by the user and used to pull the label 18 to open the container 6. It will be understood that in some embodiments of the package, the package may not comprise a peelable label but instead have some other form of opening, i.e. adhered flaps. On first use, the edge 16 of the extraction region 15 may be defined by lines of weakening in the wrapper 7. The lines of weakening in the wrapper 7 may be formed by at least one partial cut through the thickness of the wrapper 7. When the label 18 is pulled back, the section 7a of the wrapper 7 is separated from the remainder of the wrapper 7 to open the extraction region 15 and the consumer is then free to remove the aerosol delivery devices 8 from the container 6 through the extraction region 15 and, after having done so, reseal or close the extraction region 15 by bringing down the tab 22 so that the edge of the label 18 re-adheres to the adjacent portions of the wrapper 7 surrounding the extraction region 15. The region 7a of the wrapper 7 formed by the separation when the tab 22 is lifted is returned to its previous position. Although, there is a line of separation in the wrapper 7, it is covered by the adhered edges of the label 18. Referring to Figure 9, the package 1 may further comprise an inner frame 25. The inner frame 25 may be located inside the wrapper 7 of the container 6. To ensure efficient adhesion, the inner frame 25 may be provided within the container 6 so that it extends around the aerosol delivery systems 8 beneath the wrapper 7. The inner frame 25 is configured to support the wrapper 7. The inner frame 25 supports the wrapper 7 in order to prevent the container 6 becoming misshapen and to prevent the contents from becoming damaged. The inner frame 25 provides a reaction surface underneath the wrapper 7 against the resealing pressure exerted by the label 18 around the periphery of the extraction region 15. By providing a reaction surface, the inner frame 25 opposes closing forces applied by the user, which prevents the articles from being damaged and protects their integrity. The reaction surface provided by the inner frame allows for the uses of the ‘soft’ wrapper as the outermost container, and also results in less material being used compared to a ‘hard’ outer pack, and so yields a lighter pack.

As shown in Figure 9, the inner frame 25 has a front panel 26, two side flaps 27, and a top flap 28. Score or fold lines 30 form corners as seen in Figure 9 when the side flaps 2.7 are folded to right angles with the panel 26. The top flap 28 is also folded to right angles. It can be seen that when the inner frame 25 has been folded there is an aperture 31 formed through which the aerosol delivery systems 8 will be accessible, as indicated in Figure 5. The aperture 31 extends to a base edge 33 in the front panel 26. At least the front panel 26 of the inner frame 25 may extend the length of the container 6 in order to provide the greatest reaction force possible. Each of the front panel 26, and side flaps 27 may extend the length of the container 6. In some embodiments, the inner frame 25 may further comprise a rear panel configured to extend the length of the container 6. In some embodiments, the inner frame 25 may further comprise a bottom panel. In these embodiments, at least some of the panels and flaps may be adhered to each other to provide a greater reaction force and help maintain the shape of the wrapper 7. It will be understood that in some embodiments of the package, the package may not comprise an inner frame. A consumer may take hold of the tab 22 and lift the tab 22 so that the label 18 is peeled back to reveal the extraction region 15. In particular, with the label 18 in an open position, as shown in Figure 10, the removable region 7a of the wrapper 7 is drawn back to reveal the extraction region 15 and enable a consumer to readily extract an aerosol delivery system 8 from the container 6. To achieve opening of the label 18, the label 18 comprises a tab 22 at a lower edge of the label 18. The tab 22 may be foldable back on itself about a fold-line 38 separating the tab 22 from the remainder of the label 18 so that an inner surface 39, shown in Figure 11, of the tab 22 that would normally lies against or faces an outer surface 36 of the wrapper 7 of the container 6 can be moved away from the wrapper 7 by a user to be held.

When the tab 22 is pivoted about the fold line 38, it can then be pulled upwards and/or away from the fold-line 38. The label 18 is also pulled due to the connection between the tab 22 and the label 18. This results in the label 18 being peeled back or rolled away from the extraction region 15 with the section 7a of the wrapper 7. If the package 1 is being opened for the first time, then the region 7a will also separate from the remainder of the wrapper 7 along the line of weakening that separates the region 7a from the remainder of the wrapper 7, as the container 6 is opened. It will be appreciated that, when the container 6 is to be closed, as shown in Figure 12, the label 18 will roll back across the extraction region 15 and the region 7a of the wrapper 7 will re-position itself within the extraction region 15. The peelable adhesive coating of the peripheral region of the label 18 will also re-adhere to the wrapper 7 surrounding the extraction region 15, thereby sealing closed the container 6 and closing the package 1.

Furthermore, each component of the package is formed by a paper based material. That is, the container 6 and inner frame 25 are both formed from a paper based material. In addition, it means that the package 1 does not comprise a plastic overwrap that is common in known packages. In fact, the construction of the wrapper 7 means that a plastic overwrap is not required in order to keep the contents of the package 1 fresh.

In some embodiments, the wrapper 7 has a weight of more than 70 grams per square metre (gsm). In some embodiments, the wrapper 7 has a weight of more than too gsm. In some embodiments, the paper based material 11 has a paper weight of more than 70 grams per square metre (gsm). In some embodiments, the paper based material n has a paper weight of more than too gsm.

In some embodiments, the wrapper 7 comprises at least 90% of a first material. The first material may be a paper based material. In some embodiments, the wrapper 7 may also have a water vapour permeability of less than 8g/m2/24hr or less than 6g/m2/24hr, as tested under ASTM F 1249 at 38° and 90% relative humidity.

The large percentage of a single material increases the likelihood of the material being easily recyclable. Furthermore, the low water vapour permeability prevents water vapour from passing through the wrapper 7 such that the container 6 can keep its contents fresh for longer.

In some embodiments, the wrapper 7 comprises at least 92.5% of the first material. In other embodiments, the wrapper 7 comprises at least 95% of the first material. In yet further embodiments, the wrapper 7 comprises at least 98.5% of the first material. In some embodiments, the percentage of the first material is calculated based on the mass of the first material and the wrapper 7. Preferably, the water vapour permeability of the first material is less than 6g/ m2 / 24 hr at 30 °C and 90% relative humidity (1249 ASTM). More preferably, the water vapour permeability of the first material is less than 5g/m2/24 hr, more preferably, less than 3g/m2/24hr, and even more preferably, less than ig/m2/24hr at the same conditions as mentioned above. The lower the water vapour permeability of the first material, the longer the components and/ or articles and/ or delivery systems within the container 6 can be kept fresh.

Preferably, the wrapper 7 is recyclable. Preferably, the first material is compostable.

Preferably, the first material is a non-plastic material. The first material maybe, for example, but not limited to, paper.

In some embodiments, the wrapper 7 may comprise a second material. The second material may be metallic. The first and second materials may be arranged in layers to form the wrapper 7 that forms the container 6. Preferably, the second material which forms the second layer is applied to the first material which forms the first layer as a coating. The metallic layer may protect the paper layer from breaking. The wrapper 7 may comprises less than 10% of the second material by weight. In other embodiments, the wrapper 7 comprises less than 5% of the second material. In yet further embodiments, the wrapper 7 comprises less than 2.5% of the second material. In some embodiments, the percentage of the second material is calculated based on the mass of the second material and the wrapper 7.

In some embodiments, the wrapper 7 may comprise a third material. The third material may be plastic. The first, second, and third materials may be arranged in layers to form the wrapper 7 that forms the container 6, as described above. Preferably, the third material which forms the third layer is applied to the second material which forms the second layer as a coating. The third material may be a plastic coating

The metallic second layer may be partially absorbed by the first paper layer such that it forms a good connection with the first layer and provides a smooth outer surface. The plastic coating layer can be applied to the second metallic layer. Due to the metallic layer being smooth, the plastic coating layer does not have any holes therein. This prevents air and water vapour from passing through the plastic third layer. The plastic coating may be impermeable.

The wrapper 7 may comprises less than 10% of the third material by weight. In other embodiments, the wrapper 7 comprises less than 5% of the third material. In yet further embodiments, the wrapper 7 comprises less than 2.5% of the third material. In some embodiments, the percentage of the third material is calculated based on the mass of the third material and the wrapper 7.

In some embodiments, the wrapper 7 may further comprise a clay layer 50, as shown in Figure 13. The wrapper 7 may comprise a first clay layer 50a on an inner surface of the first layer, which in the present embodiment is a paper based material 11 such as paper. The first clay layer 50a may be located between the first layer 11 and the second layer, which in this embodiment is a metallised layer 12. Alternatively, the first clay layer 50a may be located between the first layer 11 and a third layer 13, which may be a plastic or varnish coating. Therefore, the metallised layer 12 or barrier coating 13 are applied on the inner surface of the first clay layer 50a. The first clay layer 50a forms a layer to which a metallised layer is more readily attachable. The wrapper 7 may further comprise a second clay layer 50b on an outer surface of the paper based material 11. The second clay layer 50b may form an outer surface of the wrapper 7 on which indicia can be printed. The package 1 may further comprise a tamper evident means 70. More specifically, the container 6 may comprise the tamper evident means 70, as shown in Figures 14 and 15. The tamper evident means 70 may be attached to both the label 18 and the wrapper 7 such that the tamper evident means indicates whether the container 6 has been previously opened, or whether an attempt to open the container 6 has been made.

The tamper evident means provides a user with an indication of whether the package 1 has been opened previously, which is required in the present invention as the outer plastic wrap that normally provides an indication of tampering is removed so that the whole package 1 can be recyclable.

The tamper evident mean 70 may comprise a stamp or sticker 71. The stamp 71 may be located on the label 18 and extending across the peripheral portion onto the wrapper 7. That is, the stamp 71 has at least a portion adhered to the label 18 and at least a portion adhered to the wrapper 7.

The stamp 71 may comprise a line of weakening 75, as shown in Figure 14. The line of weakening 75 may extend along the edge of the label 18. Thus, upon first opening of the container 6, the line of weakening 75 may be at least partially broken to indicate that an attempt has been made to open the container 6.

In another embodiment shown in Figure 15, the stamp 71 may comprise a second line of weakening 76 that extends parallel to but spaced from the first line of weakening 75 to form a tear tape 77. The tear tape 77 may comprise a tab 78 on one end for a consumer to pull.
